AMPULSE’S NEXT GENERATION c-Si THIN-FILM TECHNOLOGY WILL DELIVER A HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND FLEXIBLE FORM FACTOR THIN-FILM SOLUTION WITH THE LOWEST TOTAL SYSTEM COST.
THE AMPULSE ADVANTAGE
Today, there are a large number of solar thin-film companies at various stages of commercialization in the marketplace. All have been challenged with achieving an optimal combination and balance between efficiency, cost, and application flexibility/ease of installation. While several claim to achieve first two of these three critical factors in the proper range, Ampulse is the first company to propose best-in-class combination of the three most critical metrics in solar PV: cost, efficiency and form factor (Figure 1).

Ampulse's c-Si thin-film has the potential to achieve the efficiencies of crystalline silicon manufacturers, but with the module manufacturing cost of existing thin-film technologies. With the low product cost of thin-film technologies like CdTe, but at the higher efficiency of crystalline silicon, and combined with a flexible and easy-to-install form factor, the result is the lowest total system cost in solar PV.
